About Me

Raised in the savannahs of Zambia and the highlands of India, my
formative years set the course for my being to be realized. I pursued my
initial interest in mechanical engineering in the US and did cellphone
product development. While enjoying the technical challenge, the gnawing
inside me of seeking a greater understanding of life lead me to quit my
job, sell my house and most worldly possessions and set off a
multi-year motorcycle journey through Latin America and Africa in March,
2010. I'm also studying for a masters in Sustainable Development while
I'm traveling and hope to get a hands-on experience of the current
humanitarian needs and switch into this field at the end of this
journey, focusing on water resource issues.

I'm loving life as it's thrown to me and like to live in the present
with an eye on the future. I have a curious mind and like to learn
especially about Astronomy and the Cosmos, Geology and the story of the
Earth, Anthropology and the Origins of Humans and Philosophies of all
kinds. Besides the above interests, I'm overall interested in achieving
true Happiness through meeting good people; cooking and eating fresh,
healthy food; sharing and listening to music (ranging from bossa nova to
electronic trance); being in the outdoors with Nature; appreciating
technology and design and embracing the mechanical beauty that lives
with us.

I believe everyone is responsible for their lives and their actions and
we do have the will to make changes for the better. I truly believe if
more people in the world knew more about our true origins we would see
that we are all one big family and have a shared destiny on this planet
and in the cosmos. If we could shift our focus from the short-term to
the long-term, many problems could be averted and general happiness
would rise. I've met people from all walks of life through my motorcycle
travels and given the chance people in general are good, especially if
shown respect and dignity, but living in our cut-throat world changes
people's priorities to thinking about self-gain, which we all must do to
survive. I think the next few decades are critical in the long-term
evolution of life on this planet and I'm happy to be alive at this
significant point in history. What Gandhi said resonates strongly: you
have to be the change you want to see in the world.
